“Very fine hot day. We cycled to meeting at Jordons, a pretty old house in a lovely garden, half wild, with a graveyard in front & a dell full of flowers behind, with trees above. Meeting just like any other. In the evening Maya & I cycled to Gerrard’s X to a meeting of Friends to discuss the duty of Quaker employers in the labour question.“

“Miss E. & I used to discuss religion in the evening, á propos of the Protestant prayer book & the Catholic school catechism. She was surprised to incredulity at finding lying described as a sin there, a suggested maybe they got that book out for non-Catholics to see, but really taught them some others.”

“Pouring wet day. I got an answer from Ruth Fry to my inquiry if they could give me employment in relief work on the continent. Evidently I’d be no use in Germany or Austria, & I don’t believe I am strong enough for their requirements in Poland. Louis more cheerful.”
